I will be bringing forward the heads of a Greyhound Industry Bill shortly to deal with issues relating to governance, regulation and enforcement. This legislation will include inter alia, defined periods for board appointments and a process of board rotation and renewal as outlined in the Indecon report.
The appointment referred to by the Deputy was conducted through a competitive process managed by the Public Appointments Service.
